Anybody fancy a bus?

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Anybody fancy a bus?

Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

I think that the route master would be a perfect replacement for your Galaxy Rich. It has the bonus of the driver sitting separately from the passengers so you don't have to listen to your kids saying "are we nearly there yet" ;)

2 toddlers and a car full of all the stuff their mother insists is essential to take with? I've had to take my nieces / nephews out before and their mother could fill a removal van with stuff "just in case".

That's why you should get a route master. in your separate compartment, you wouldn't need to worry about it ;)

Needs a halfshaft, just let me check my coat pockets... :lol:

Rich, you don't just need any Routemaster, you need the one in the link because someone already fitted a door so your babies won't fall out when you throw it round a right hand bend (which you will want to do, on account of the Lotus-like handling of these aluminium monocoque sports buses). That door's a modern abomination yet perversely, makes the bus ideal for you. Snap it up before some crusties buy it to live in.
